Many of us know that the federal government is less than truthful, in many areas of policy and fact. We also know that The War on Drugs continues to thrive because many powerful people make a lot of money off of it.

The interview in the video below is a little long, but it contains a lot of great information about what has been going on along the U.S. border with Mexico.
